There's a ship sails away
at the close of each day,
sails away to the land of dreams.
Mama's little boy Blue
is the Captain and crew,
of this wonderful ship called:
"The White Pillow Slip."
When the day's play is o'er,
and the toys on the floor
cast aside by a little brown hand
Mama hugs him up tight
Papa whispers goodnight
little sailor boy
sail into sweet slumber land.

All aboard for Blanket Bay
won't come back 'till the break of day;
roll him 'round in his little white sheet
'till you can't see his little bare feet.
Then you tuck him up in his trundle bed,
ship ahoy little sleepy head
Bless Mama, Bless Papa and sail away
all aboard for Blanket Bay.

There was one night the ship
took a wonderful trip,
and the Captain came home next day
with his little voice hushed,
and his little face flushed,
from a fever he'd caught
in the Slumberland Port
and they watched by his bed,
'till the old doctor said
he's asleep danger's past come away.
Mama kissed her Boy Blue
Papa hugged him up too
there were tears in his eyes
as he sang Blanket Bay.

All aboard for Blanket Bay
won't come back 'till the break of day;
roll him 'round in his little white sheet
'till you can't see his little bare feet.
Then you tuck him up in his trundle bed,
ship ahoy little sleepy head
Bless Mama, Bless Papa and sail away
all aboard for Blanket Bay.
